# Backups
#### **Context:**
Periodic snapshots of platform data.
#### **Importance:**
Ensures data integrity.
#### Setup:
Backups, Metrics and Downtime downloads can be found in this page of Busroot.
Each file represents a different “view” of what is happening on the line. Together they let you explain when you ran, what you produced, and where time was lost.
### Downtime file
* Contains one row per **downtime event** with start and end timestamps, duration, and whether the event is still ongoing.
* Lets you see which station was down, for which SKU/work order, and for how long.
### Production file
* Contains one row per **completed unit (or batch)** with good/bad quantity, station, SKU, work order, and the exact time the last unit was produced.
* Lets you see how many good/bad parts each station produced over time, and calculate things like throughput and effective cycle time.
### Metrics file
* Contains **minute‑by‑minute performance metrics** per station and SKU, including scheduled time, productive time, downtime, good/bad counts, and production rate per hour.
* Lets you build higher‑level KPIs such as OEE-style views, lost production cost, and compare actual vs ideal/target rates across the shift.
